Second-Hand

?Conscience?

What do you do when your beat-up trailer

has run its course? Or, lets say, youve owned a Chevrolet for two

years and youre planning to graduate to an SUV? There are many ways

you can dispose of an old or used vehicle. While many sell their cars,

trucks and trailers as second-hand vehicles where they end up in a second-hand

lot, others are nothing more than mere scrap.

But theres another option many are not

even aware of ? disposing of your car while earning some moral brownie

points. Have you ever thought of donating your vehicle to charity? In

other words, have you stumbled upon ? For those who dont

read the classifieds closely, there are hundreds of charitable organisations

coveting your second-hand car and, believe it or not, the competition

is fierce.

But what would a charity or non-profit

do with a beat-up roadster or for that matter a trailer who's travelled

more miles than you care to remember? Charities sell or auction second-hand

vehicles to raise funds for their activities, and there are a host of

sites urging you to donate the following: cars, SUVs, RVs, motorcycles,

trailers, trucks, boats and even aircraft!

Save While Donating!

OK, so all you have is an old sedan.

But if youre planning to trade it in for something more contemporary,

hit the brakes right there. A car donation can prove charitable to your

tax returns, in the US, at least. Thats because the Internal Revenue

Service recognises this act as being eligible for a tax deduction. There

are several criteria that need to be met and lots and lots of paperwork

to be done. But it might be worth the few hundred dollars Uncle Sam

owes you!

Usually, the sum youre allowed to deduct

depends on what the charity organisation does with your car. These organisations

usually sell the automobile ? second-hand or new ? and hence the

deduction you claim cannot exceed the sale price.

The sections of the relevant tax laws

that govern the deduction vary with the amount you are claiming as deduction.

Hence, the documents you are required to file will also vary.

Promoting the concept, non-profit organisations

are aggressively advertising this act of charity and they are unabashed

to state that they take all kinds of vehicles ? even aircraft.

Look, No Paperwork!

To sweeten the pill, you are told that

all the procedures, including the cost of the pick-up, will be borne

by them. Perhaps the most tantalising thing is that you don't have

to go through the hassle of filing all those documents with the Department

of Motor Vehicles.?

And while youre in a charitable mood,

theres something for the patriotic. The National Veterans Services

Fund in the US is also pitching for car donations. Again, donations

to the fund earn you a tax write-off while giving you the chance to

help all those war veterans who laid their lives on the line foe their

country.

A donation like this costs nothing. Once

you make up your mind, all you have to do is fill out a form on the

non-profit's website and the charity will contact you. After that,

its a hassle-free process driven by the organisation itself.
